Economist says Brazil could break corn record, impact U.S. exports

An agricultural economist says corn exports are strong now, but that might change.

Dr. Bill Tierney with AgResource says there’s likely to be some strong South American competition in 2019. “We think that we’ve seen the harvest lull in corn. We think that there’s very good demand for U.S. corn. We’re a little bit concerned about the potential size of the South American crops, particularly in the case of Brazil.”
